\n\tEJAE <\/a>has been named as the honoree of Gyopo\u2019s 8th annual Chuseok Benefit.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Oscar winner and Grammy award winning songwriter will be presented with the award on Sept. 27 in Los Angeles. Gyopo organizes free arts and culture programs in Los Angeles. It explores diasporic Korean arts and culture to speak about broader social, political, and historical issues.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe event will be hosted by entrepreneur and arts patron Gyopo board member Ann Soh Woods at her private residence in the Brentwood neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\n\tAll proceeds from the benefit are directed to Gyopo\u2019s year-round free public programming and fund the organization\u2019s mission of generating progressive, critical, intersectional, and intergenerational discourses and community alliances among diasporic Korean and Asian cultural producers.<\/p>\n

\n\tYoon Ju Ellie Lee, Executive Director, Gyopo said, \u201cWe celebrate EJAE\u2019s exhilarating artistic talent and its power to define an era of popular music and culture. EJAE\u2019s journey to becoming a global music icon is one of perseverance and courage\u2013 complex, layered, and full of twists and turns. Her story has resonated with millions across the globe, but it is the way she shares it, with clarity, honesty, humility, and meaningfully contextualized within a diasporic Korean experience, that has touched the hearts of us at Gyopo. EJAE has used her platform to speak openly about her process, pressure, rejection, and transformation. In times like these, we savor the opportunity to honor a kindred spirit such as EJAE.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe annual benefit takes place in late September, which marks the Korean harvest moon holiday Chuseok. It heralds the beginning of autumn and is a time of coming together to celebrate abundance, express gratitude, and strengthen bonds of solidarity.<\/p>\n

\n\tEJAE joins past honorees of the Chuseok Benefit, including actor and producer Steven Yeun, chefs Mina Park and Kwang Uh of Baroo, actor and director Randall Park and poet and writer Cathy Park Hong.<\/p>\n

\n\tEJAE is best known for her role in the global phenomenon \u201cKPop Demon Hunters,\u201d where she starred as the singing voice of Rumi. EJAE wrote and performed several songs on the soundtrack including \u201cGolden,\u201d which garnered an Academy Award, Critics Choice, Golden Globe, and Grammy Award for Best Original Song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EJAE has been named as the honoree of Gyopo\u2019s 8th annual Chuseok Benefit.
